Uncommon in the Brandon District (Perkins). —Five examples, at Felixstowe, just outside the town, in August, 1896 (Piffard).—Foxhall and Bentley Woods, singly. 1 M. unicolor, V. de Lind, may occur in Suffolk ; it does not appear to be rare in the South of England, but has not, I think, been found in Essex. 2 Mr. T u c k probably first took this in Suffolk, circa 20-8-98, together with seven other species never previously met with in his parish, though systematically worked for about eight years. Three-and-a-half hours' work with two young nephews on this day yielded thirty species of Aculeates, of which very few a r e usually accounted common.
